The Candie's Foundation is set up to "shape the way young people in America think about teen pregnancy and parenthood" by "[using] celebrities that teens can relate to, in a style that speaks to teens on their own terms," and what better and more relatable celebs than a skeezy reality TV star and the teen mom daughter of a punchline politician to star in a pro-abstinence PSA? Way to stay "hip" and "fresh" with your casting, Candie's. Oh, and also, way to push an agenda onto teenagers that doesn't work.

Jersey Shore's "The Situation" and famous-by-association teen mom Bristol Palin took time out of their Dancing with the Stars schedule to record a public service announcement on behalf of the Candie's Foundation that uses the word "situation" so many times that at various points refers to the person, abdominal muscles, a relationship, the act of having sex, getting pregnant, and an actual situation. The whole thing makes about as much sense as abstinence itself.

Bristol Palin going from one extreme (omg teen sex is the bestest!) to the other (no way, sex is the worstest) seems more ignorant than mature to me, but I will concede that abstaining from engaging in sexual intercourse with a Jersey Shore cast member is a public service announcement we can all get behind and support.

Here's the PSA for your viewing pleasure:

What do you think about abstinence-only sex education?

We just got away from what works. Stoning, imprisoning, beheading. What happened to the good ole days?
